What some Canadian airports have is what's called a transborder region - you go through US customs at the Canadian airport and enter a "sterile US" area, you then land as a domestic flight in the US.

The post you're replying to is in regard to flights from US/Canada arriving in Europe. They very much can be sterile if the destination country regards them as sterile. (And I'm pretty sure US and Canada are usually regarded as sterile in this case.)

Also for completeness: "sterile" transfers do exist in Canada, but only in limited situations, and only when originating from a sterile country. E.g. flying US->Int'l via Canada doesn't require you to pass security or customs (but you do get immigration), I think they also expanded that for some Int'l->Int'l (possibly if your origin is germany?). If you're destination is US or Canada you do get security as mentioned.

What is being discussed is "One Stop Security an EU regulatory framework which provides for the recognition of security standards in a non-EU country as equivalent to EU standards. Not every country in the EU has implemented OSS but Switzerland, though not in the EU, has decided to implement it.

Then the UK could really, really accept the Schengen folks as sterile
